Mazda Collection in Japan

Can anyone out there translate this article for me? Looks like this guy has one hell of a Mazda collection. From right to left top: 1961 B360 pickup, 1962 Carol 360, 1972 Chantez, 1978 RX-7, 1972 Rx-2. Bottom 1970(?) 1500, 1973 RX-3, 1972 R130 Coupe. Would love to know what the article says if anyone can translate japanese.

I did before I posted the first time. The text is pretty small don't you think?

I have rescanned just the text and hopefully the image will be large enough for someone to translate. The article appears in the June 2003 of the Mazda employees monthly newsletter.
I have been to the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima and was slightly disapointed in the lack of Rotary engined cars on display. The museum is located in the main assembly line building with a balcony that overlooks the assembly line. When I went they were still assembling RX-7s still (which was great to see). The museum consists of three rooms with the first room dedicated to static displays and videos. The second and third rooms are where the cars are displayed. The second room contained early examples of the 3 wheel trucks that were built along with the R360, Carol, Familia (1964) and Luce. The only rotary engined cars were a third generation RX-7 and the 767 Lemans car. The third room contains their current lineup of Mazdas that are available now! Very much out of place in a Museum, in my opinion. There were some experiment cars as well. No gift shop.
I had hoped to see all the rotary engine cars and trucks that were manufactured but they didn't have them.
